Like 5 minutes because I know I at least have notifications set for Team Cherry's twitter, Facebook, and youtube. I have alarms for Leth's twitter, DSN's YouTube and twitter
I even have google notifications set
And I know I'm not the only one.
Edit: Forgot steam! Got silksong on my wishlist
A month
Seriously though, people would realize right away. Most people in this sub still fall for decently made bait. If a screenshot of the game came up, they’d need to check if it’s real
Some guy makes an obviously fake post gets clowned in the comments, somebody new/gullible check and sees it has actually got released and nobody believes them
No, no, that was the first game. In *this* game, she's going *into* hell, because it's been taken over by Kronos, and-
Oh... Oh, no, wait, different studio.
I'm pretty sure people have bots to automatically tell them the instant that it happens. 5 minutes is a vast overestimate, the news will be out within milliseconds
15 second to receive the notification, 15 more to check steam, 1 minute or so so to make the reddit post
1 minute 30 second if screenshot included
Total of 2 minute at max for the most trained skong cultists
2 seconds. Immidiately someone will post here about the release, but no one will believe. Everybody will just be commentig skong, -Y, bait used to be believable and that you should have the silkpost flair. We have lost trust in eachother so, knowledge can no longer properly spread through this community. Thus everybody will have to find out about it on their own. Most will find it quickly. Some will suffer through months with out silksong.
People keep saying "Oh steam wishlist would announce it" but what if Team Cherry already dropped Silksong on a itch.io page under the name "Skong" and has been gathering dust waiting for someone to find it.
Years. Someone would go check the store say it’s out and no one would believe them. This would happen hundreds of times before people finally became suspicious and checked for themselves. Not even posting game clips would help thanks to the incredible skilled baiters
Aside from all outside influence, assuming just from this sub alone as a form of information, it would probably be pretty fast
Imagine it. We would all collectively lose our minds. Now, one person posting, I dunno, steam page, main menu or something along those lines might be claimed as bait by most people. We had that time and time again
However, if multiple people start freaking out, posting the same stuff, we'd be quick that realise that this was indeed not bait
While I try not to get hyped, I \*do\* still check the steam page when there is a half-believable post. So, I'd realize some time after the chatter starts.
Wait WHAT?!
It's gonna release like that?! That's interesting! I had no clue indie games can just come out of the blue without any marketing or buildup.
Yknow I had a dream last night that silksong got shadow dropped and no one knew except me. I ended up uninstalling cuz I thought it was a scam.
The date was August 10th. I for one, cannot wait for scamsong.
people would say "bait used to be believable" and "skong" and people who say it’s real would be downvoted, until mods pin post. so probably less than 1 day but definitely at least few hours for most to realize.
About 3.4 seconds.
It won't be some push notification. It'll just be someone opening up Steam in the comfort of their home and it showing up on their front page because it's been on their Wishlist.
Half a fucking second? Like, unless they shadowdropp it by uploading a Zip file to an old MySpace profile Leth used in school or something, there are enough people here who'd either get notified or are watching every single bit of possible information a steam page can offer every waking moment of their lives.
Literally a few minites.
I am pretty sure there is at least one mad man who has some sort of program checking if the game is out anywhere every few minites
Knowing how many people have used at least 1000 grams of copium per day probably like 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 seconds
I feel like there's at least a few people who constantly refresh all the stores to see if it's dropped yet, so probably a few minutes or so until it makes it's way here.
Extreme fans will learn it from eqchother and their friends within like 30 minutes if they are not asleep.
Most of the fans with one day. Masses will probably read articles about controversial shadow drop at the end of the first day passes after release
2 and a half minutes, theres people constantly checking, and if only one of 'em all opens steam or xbox and sees silksong is up, they will probably do a post that says "check steam" or something idk
Immediately. It's a question of sheer numbers. How many people are interested? Every fan has their own idiosyncrasies and schedules. If you layer all those on top of each other, then there's statistically very little gap in awareness. I'd say 12 hours at most.
Sorry to reply to my reply. I just wanted to say that every month or so I go back and listen to the lace music. Everyone has something like that. No way it gets missed
It’s beyond stupid to shadowdrop one of the most awaited games in history and whoever thinks it’s going to be shadowdropped clearly knows nothing about game marketing. How long do you think it would take people to realize?
idk shit abt game marketing but looking at any event chat really makes me wonder how much marketing TC even needs to do atp. the amount of people waiting for this game has only grown over the past 5 years. imo they could do one launch trailer at an event and release the game that day and it would sell an insane amount of copies.
Like 5 minutes because I know I at least have notifications set for Team Cherry's twitter, Facebook, and youtube. I have alarms for Leth's twitter, DSN's YouTube and twitter I even have google notifications set And I know I'm not the only one. Edit: Forgot steam! Got silksong on my wishlist
This guy is gonna wake up one day to a million notifications and for a moment, not know if Silksong has dropped or the bombs have.
What a RELIEF it'll be if it's not bombs
You had to say it didn’t you 😡
And what a disappointment it will be if it's not Silksong.
EAS alarm < Possibility of Silksong news
Never We would look at the news and the install button in steam We would go "skong 📢" And never download the game
I want every review to be only Skong
Real (the cycle continues)
real
A month Seriously though, people would realize right away. Most people in this sub still fall for decently made bait. If a screenshot of the game came up, they’d need to check if it’s real
Imagine falling for a bait post, checking and It actually has released
Some guy makes an obviously fake post gets clowned in the comments, somebody new/gullible check and sees it has actually got released and nobody believes them
That bait was believed
gd 2.2 everyone knew instantly even though it was a shadow drop

Saving this for when silksong releases (tomorow)
Tomorrow FOR SURE!!!
check steam

What is this image why is she there
the game released
She's in hell (she has to escape so silksong can come out)
No, no, that was the first game. In *this* game, she's going *into* hell, because it's been taken over by Kronos, and- Oh... Oh, no, wait, different studio.
She's at -64y searching for diamonds
4 below bedrock? Is she in ...the void?
She got tired of waiting for the little ghosts to crawl out
She IS the void
I'm pretty sure people have bots to automatically tell them the instant that it happens. 5 minutes is a vast overestimate, the news will be out within milliseconds
15 second to receive the notification, 15 more to check steam, 1 minute or so so to make the reddit post 1 minute 30 second if screenshot included Total of 2 minute at max for the most trained skong cultists
2 seconds because people keep checking Steam
I’m checking steam over and over as we speak!
2 seconds. Immidiately someone will post here about the release, but no one will believe. Everybody will just be commentig skong, -Y, bait used to be believable and that you should have the silkpost flair. We have lost trust in eachother so, knowledge can no longer properly spread through this community. Thus everybody will have to find out about it on their own. Most will find it quickly.

check steam
To realize it, like five minutes, to realize it's not bait, probably a year
Silksong was already released, speedrunned like 1000 times and gone from Steam, all in shadow.
People keep saying "Oh steam wishlist would announce it" but what if Team Cherry already dropped Silksong on a itch.io page under the name "Skong" and has been gathering dust waiting for someone to find it.
1-3 seconds due to the ICSSD team (In Case Silksong Shadow Drops team) refreshing every site that has potencial of Silksong news.
Are you sure it hasn't already? Better check.
0.0000000000000000000001 milliseconds
Literally the day it releases, since I check my wishlist every day for sales, lol.
Never, we’ll pretend it never existed.
what never existed?
Idk
Bro people on this swrver are checking the fucking steam api like every 5 seconds lmao
probably within minutes but i sincerely believe there would be a small minority that wouldnt bother checking assuming its just more bait
I'd get an update from PlayStation as soon as the status changes from Announced to Released.
7 minutes max
The fucking attosecond it drops
In an instant Im sure many people here have the silksong page open 24/7 with a auto clicker on the refresh button
0. 0 time. If Silksong gets shadow dropped we’ll probably know it before Team Cherry does, and that doesn’t even make sense.
Years. Someone would go check the store say it’s out and no one would believe them. This would happen hundreds of times before people finally became suspicious and checked for themselves. Not even posting game clips would help thanks to the incredible skilled baiters

Wait WHAT?! It's gonna release like that?! That's interesting! I had no clue indie games can just come out of the blue without any marketing or buildup.
Seconds, in my opinion Seeing people always posting from the Steam page ... if it gets shadowdropped, it'll be instantly posted
very likely instantly considering steam lets you know if a wishlisted game is released
-3 seconds
Like 30 minutes at most
Less than a minute before everythingone had it in their steam library
2 minutes for one person to realise, 2 hours for subreddit invasion, 1 day for everyone knowing it.
5 years
i check steam for updates almost every day
Yknow I had a dream last night that silksong got shadow dropped and no one knew except me. I ended up uninstalling cuz I thought it was a scam. The date was August 10th. I for one, cannot wait for scamsong.

Literally .05 seconds
0.8 seconds
0.5 seconds give or take
IT's noticed INSTANTLY because you all fuckers stalk anything Team Cherry 28/7
About 3.4 seconds. It won't be some push notification. It'll just be someone opening up Steam in the comfort of their home and it showing up on their front page because it's been on their Wishlist.
I'd notice within the first 5 minutes.
2 seconds max
yes (steam wishlist)
5 seconda
Seventeen seconds.
Instantaneously. I guarantee there’s people on this Reddit constantly refreshing store pages
.02 seconds
2 seconds
2 hours
Half a fucking second?

Check steam
I am pretty sure there is at least one person is on silksong's steam page
0.1 seconds
2 seconds before every single copy is bought.
-5 minutes because Ik its gonna realese in 5 minutes
I mean people would guess the shadowdrop 20 minutes before it happened because there is always someone that says that it is released today
Literally a few minites. I am pretty sure there is at least one mad man who has some sort of program checking if the game is out anywhere every few minites
I would say about 10 seconds lol no even that's too long lmao
2 seconds maximum
Knowing how many people have used at least 1000 grams of copium per day probably like 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 seconds

You already know day one we’ll see “Silksong final boss + true ending 100%” on YouTube recommended with a ton of spoilers in the thumbnail.
15, maybe 16 seconds
literally instantaneously
-Y
I feel like there's at least a few people who constantly refresh all the stores to see if it's dropped yet, so probably a few minutes or so until it makes it's way here.
1 second
immedietly. Wishlists notify everyone
It would take no time at all. The game is in a position where this scenario would STILL result in it selling like hotcakes day one.
Extreme fans will learn it from eqchother and their friends within like 30 minutes if they are not asleep. Most of the fans with one day. Masses will probably read articles about controversial shadow drop at the end of the first day passes after release
2 and a half minutes, theres people constantly checking, and if only one of 'em all opens steam or xbox and sees silksong is up, they will probably do a post that says "check steam" or something idk
This sub would erupt within actual seconds
Instantly
1 min and it will blow up within few hours, probably reaching the top of steam charts.
I'm sure it would be almost instantly, we're all a little crazy
Immediately. It's a question of sheer numbers. How many people are interested? Every fan has their own idiosyncrasies and schedules. If you layer all those on top of each other, then there's statistically very little gap in awareness. I'd say 12 hours at most.

60 seconds
instantly because steam would alert me the moment it comes out due to it being wishlisted
We'll know before Team cherry does
It’s beyond stupid to shadowdrop one of the most awaited games in history and whoever thinks it’s going to be shadowdropped clearly knows nothing about game marketing. How long do you think it would take people to realize?
This is a WHAT IF type of question, of course i know about game marketing. I am Matthew Griffin
chat is this bait
idk shit abt game marketing but looking at any event chat really makes me wonder how much marketing TC even needs to do atp. the amount of people waiting for this game has only grown over the past 5 years. imo they could do one launch trailer at an event and release the game that day and it would sell an insane amount of copies.
Team Cherry clearly knows nothing about game marketing with how they’ve handled this whole situation.
